Rockstar Delays Grand Theft Auto Online Heists

The highly anticipated online heists feature that Rockstar has been teasing for GTA Online has officially been delayed. Originally citing a spring release, Rockstar has now said the feature is taking more time to create than originally anticipated.

In a post on the Rockstar Newswire, the developer apologizes to fans for the holdup, saying, "We are very sorry for the delay, and are working hard to bring them to you as soon as we can. Please know that we are focused as always on making the best possible content for you to play and we are thankful to all of you for your patience, understanding and support."

The post unfortunately doesn't mention when we might see online heists, which are co-operative multiplayer missions, but it does say that more content updates, enhancements, and additions are coming to GTA Online in the future.

The GTA Online "I'm Not a Hipster" update is available now, adding fresh outfits, hairstyles, tattoos, masks, jobs, and custom weapons to the game.

Grand Theft Auto V is coming to PC, as well as Xbox One and PS4 later this year. For much more on Grand Theft Auto V, be sure to check out the extensive GTA V IGN wiki.
